The Darker Me ~ #Poetry ~ by @Tashtoo
After the week I put in, I can honestly say I need a drink! And we're not talking strawberry wine...so as the awesome Claudia takes the stage to host at the pub this evening, I have every intention of hiding in my dark corner with my spirit of choice (no pun intended) and losing myself in the fantastic poetry that is becoming the mainstay of OpenLinkNight. Today I'm offering up a fun, rhyming little write...because that's what I do best after spending way too much time in the real world! ;) Poets! Welcome to dVerse! Let's have a read, shall we?
The Darker Me
The Darker Me
Upon this heart where demons dance
Where magic holds your soul entranced
Within the darkness that is me
Swallowed by my mystery
A foolish girl, you took me for
But that, my love, will be no more
For it is you I seek today
Where I can let my demons play.
Don’t turn away, you wanted this
I heard your whisper, granted your wish
I showed you the “me”
I like to hide
There’s good reason she stays locked up inside.
But doubt you did, did not believe
And together we will surely grieve
You can’t take back what used to be
Now that you’ve seen this side of me.
So share my poison, share my pain
I promise you it won’t be in vain
For this is me, no lies, just truth
Witness these scars I wear as proof
That I’m not normal, I’m not quite right
I embrace monsters, I hide from light
No matter now, I’ve set her free
Welcome to the darker me.

Very nice twist on the other side of yourself here at your shelf, all have more than one side and you take it in stride. That's a face it fact as I shed some light on your act.
Now for this bit of bitter chocolate...hmm, well, he should not have scoffed. Beneath the surface, there may be monsters and sirens, and they are ever so good at sorting the men from the boys and the wheat from the chaff.
Sings: all of me, why not take all of me...
Loved this.
A lovely, lovely write.
well done my friend
great rhyming here ( I am horrible at it and admire when others can carry it off so well)
i'm still tasting the flavor in my mouth as i write this.
thanks for your comment. i agree, of course. my soap box is your soap box:)
I feel like you crawled deep into the recesses of my mind and laid its contents bare. I'm not sure if I should take solace in knowing someone else out there feels the world as I do or sad to know that someone else feels the world as I do.
I had not intended to write for Meeting the Bar tonight over at the pub, but the way your words seemed to burrow into me lead me to join the festivities.
in case I didn't already say this...your poem was strikingly beautifully spun.
